Going to the Mountain

Today I called all the local theaters to see when Brokeback Mountain was going to play there.

It isn't.

I even spoke to one theater's manager. He was very polite. He had no idea what a per screen return was. He was proud to tell me that they will be getting 90% of the Blockbusters but they just didn't do Indies. In fact, the people who determine what movies play in this town in Georgia are in Texas.

Unless something breaks loose soon Zelda and I are going to have to travel into the city to see the movie. We'll make a good day of it. Do some shopping, get a bite to eat, enjoy the movie. But we shouldn't have to make any kind of 'day' out of it. The movie should be available locally.
